Travel Stories

Golf has been played in Tunisia since Carthage Golf Club opened in 1927, when the country was still a French colony. Today Tunisia is a small but vying Mediterranean golf destination with a dozen courses and a desire to give Euro-golfers their golf fix at any time of the year. Will Tunisia make a comeback on the golf tourism scene in the coming years?

Links heaven

“You’re up” I said to Kaia on the first tee. But Kaia wasn’t ready, as she assumed she would be teeing off last in our fourball with three men and her, the only woman. Much to her surprise her tee box on the first hole was behind the men’s, and she was first up.

Culinary delights and the world’s best wine

Bordeaux is, as we all know, lined to the hilt with culinary delights and famous chateaux where the world’s best wine flows freely. The golf courses are pretty appealing, too! So why hasn’t the region, and France as a whole, made it to the top of the list of Europe’s great golfing destinations?

Spectacularly beautiful scenery

How do the links courses of southwest England compare to those of Scotland and Ireland? If you’re used to ordering haggis or black pudding after your round on the links, maybe you should consider heading south and enjoying a Cornish pasty instead. Golf in Cornwall should be on your bucket list.

A fairy tale

Once upon a time, there was a very flat country that had lots of fun-loving people in it who also happened to make famous beers. Then one day somebody visited from a hilly country across the sea and showed these fun-loving people how to play a frustrating game with iron sticks and a white ball, which would sometimes roll into a tiny hole in the ground.
